   Somehow, radio edits seem to be to be a different matter.  When someone   
   says the lyrics were really originally "bitch", not only is this true,   
   it's easily verified.  In my examples, the alleged original lyrics are   
   alleged to be not available any more, except via the UL.   
      
   Another amusing aspect of the "misheard lyrics" popular discourse is that   
   if I'm trying to figure out what a song I heard on the radio is, but I   
   can't decipher the words, I can type into Google something which the words   
   kinda sound like, and I get a misheard-lyrics web page which then tells me   
   the real songtitle (and the real lyrics).  (Because radio stations rarely   
   announce song and artist titles these days, which is a separate rant.)
